Independent Thinker – Creator – Sensemaker

Innotribe at Sibos 2011

Innotribe is SWIFT’s initiative to foster collaborative innovation in financial services – through debating the options (at Innotribe events) and supporting the creation of innovative new solutions (through incubation).

Now in its third year, Innotribe at Sibos, Innotribe’s flagship event, runs throughout Sibos week and offers a comprehensive programme exploring a range of topics crucial to the financial industry. Innotribe at Sibos in Toronto will once again bring together a powerful combination of world experts to participate in an exciting mix of keynote sessions, case studies, and interactive discussions.

Some aspects of Innotribe at Sibos in Toronto will be familiar to those who’ve attended before – for example, we are keeping the Innotribe Labs and the magic they create.

But we will also explore new formats and new topics. We will experiment with new facilitation techniques such as game-storming and open space discussions. We will build on our history of creating compelling line-ups of exciting speakers to bring together a set of our most exciting innovators yet to participate. We will close the event with the Innotribe Celebration – our most ambitious interactive experience yet.

In many sessions we will engage with students from the Social Data Lab from Stanford University and with young entrepreneurs bringing to the table the energy of Silicon Valley. And Chris Skinner will have a very special role: besides blogging, interviewing and tweeting he will also be our professional challenger to keep you and our speakers sharp.

This year’s Innotribe technology inspired topics are Social Data and Collaboration, Big Data, and Digital Identity. And for the first time, Innotribe will explore non-technology topics – corporate culture, new economies, and a Start-Up competition .

Two technology topics from previous Innotribe editions now move to the main conference: Cloud and Mobile. For the technology topics above, we have teamed up with our IT colleagues who are launching this year the “Technology Stream”, covering Cloud Computing, Time to Market, and Catastrophic Risk handling. And with our Banking Markets colleagues for the Mobile session on Thursday 22 Sep at 11am. Just another proof, that:

Innotribe at Sibos is the place

where new trends can be discovered

and explored,

before they hit mainstream

Who should attend?

Innotribe at Sibos is open to all who come to Toronto. It brings together strategists, business and technology leaders, trend-setters and trend-watchers, thinkers interested in shaping the future and doers looking to implement it – in short, anyone keen to find out how the world is changing and what that means to our industry.

Why attend?

Join us to discover new business and technology trends; share and discuss ground-breaking ideas for co-investment; and challenge each other to build theoretical concepts into tangible prototypes in professionally facilitated workshops.

Programme

Innotribe opening: The Power of the TribeIn 2010, this session was standing room only. 2011 will be no different. Through a couple of inspiring keynotes, spiced up with some novel interactive formats and techniques, we will introduce this year’s Innotribe topics. A session not to be missed!

Discovering the new Physics of Big dataThe quantity of data available to our businesses is sky-rocketing. Data volumes continue to explode, doubling every 14 months. So what tools are out there to enable us to use the patterns that can be identified in huge data sets such as Twitter, blogs, and other forms of social media to make correlations and even predict trends? Also get the lowdown on the SWIFT Index – a research project into how SWIFT traffic data can correlate with economic indicators such as GDP. And find out the latest on SWIFT’s Business Intelligence tools and how they can help you turn data into decisions.

SWIFT Index will be have it’s own deep dive session later that week in the SWIFT Auditorium

Other SWIFT colleagues focused on Business Intelligence will have 2 other related sessions in the SWIFT Auditorium:

Leveraging SWIFT’s Business Intelligence solutions – Monday 10AM

Define the future of your correspondent banking business with SWIFT Business Intelligence – Wednesday 10AM

Social data and CollaborationFacebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Quora, Chatter and many other social data and collaboration platforms make it possible for banks to bring customer engagement to new levels of excellence. So far so familiar: but what is the bigger impact of social media on the banking business? What opportunities does this phenomenon enable for reputation and influence, talent discovery and development? And what is the best way to balance the opportunities with managing the inevitable compliance and regulation issues that social media create in the financial world?

This interactive session will explore the edges of the digital identity eco-system, looking into personal data stores, trust frameworks, and multi-channel authentication techniques. We will also present the findings of the research phase of SWIFT’s Digital Identity Incubation project.

Corporate cultureWe will explore how we can create true company culture change beyond powerpoint and processes. How do we allow for the human in our organisations, and show respect for the passion and vulnerability of the individual? How can you turn your company in to a talent factory? How can we create a community of change agents?

New economiesIs money the only form of transaction value and wealth? What about social currencies? We will expose you to new thinking on new economies such as the trust economy, the intention economy, the relationship economy, the social economy and the ethical economy.

New payment schemes are trying to enable peer-to-peer money transfers, dis-intermediating the banks. Money is no longer seen as the sole representation of value. New alternative currencies are being created. Facebook credits are now used by more than 250 million people. New payments schemes are being proposed at the infrastructure level of the internet. Currency is open-sourced. How can we create new systems of wealth generation and abundance? What does the future hold for banks and other financial institutions in the wake of massive peer-to-peer exchange? How do we (re)define the role of banks in this fast moving eco-system of new value providers?

Banks for a better world

This session will explore how Banks and Financial institutions can create a fund and a framework for supporting sustainable and responsible businesses. Together with several inspiring speakers we would like to engage you, the audience to create a vision of what Banks for a Better World may mean. We would like to engage in a conversation around the following topics: How can we create a new generation of wealth and value platforms and services to support sustainable and responsible business? Could we create a fund to invest in developing and supporting new organisations and business models that focus on delivering different value to society, such as “better banks”, ethical businesses, etc? Could today’s financial institutions play an active role in enabling new value transactions – exchanging social reputation for cash, money for social currency?

[…] Quick review & critique of Innotribe @ SIBOS so far September 21, 2011 tags: conference, innotribe, SIBOS by Venessa Miemis drawn live by Hugh MacLeod @gapingvoid Here I am in Toronto, attending my second Innotribe/SIBOS event. Last year I presented the ‘Future of Money’ video made in collaboration with KS12 in Berlin. This year, I’ll be showing one of the videos in my ‘Future of Facebook’ series that looks into the potential around Credits and virtual currencies across social media platforms.Unlike last year, where I was generally overwhelmed by the whole experience of being surrounded by thousands of older white men in suits, this year I’m having a bit more fun with it. A big reason is the lineup Peter and the Innotribe team have brought in. It’s like my twitter stream has come to life in meatspace, and I’m enjoying having a lot of interesting conversations face to face with these people. (you can check out the lineup here). […]
